Sixdog Investments LLC is voluntarily recalling a batch of their certified organic eggs because they may be contaminated with Salmonella.

The voluntary action occurred after results came back from routine testing, there have not been any reports of illness so far, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) news release reported.

The potentially contaminated product was mainly distributed in Colorado, but some may have been shipped to "Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah," the news release reported.

The eggs were packaged in both dozen and half-dozen cartons. They have packing dates of 93, 94, 97, or 98 and expiration dates of 051814, 051914, 052214, or 052314. The cartons will also have a location code of on or three. This information can be found on white sticker at the end of every carton.

"The company is confident that any and all products sent out with any other packing codes or expiration dates are fully safe for consumption. NO illnesses have been reported to date," the news release stated.

The routine testing revealed the finished product that was produced in specific barns could contain Salmonella bacteria. The company has ceased production in these barns and is taking action to prevent future contamination.

Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious illness, it can be fatal in young children, the elderly, or those already in poor health.

Healthy individuals infected with the organism often experience "fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain," the news release reported. In rare cases Salmonella can get into the bloodstream causing serious conditions such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Consumers who have purchased the potentially contaminated eggs are encouraged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers who have questions can contact the company at (970) 286-0080 to speak with a representative.
